This won't directly work for middle-dot, when it is used in Latin with no surrounding whitespace. Perhaps the best thing is simply to write Latin using spaces rather than middle-dots. That is also correct. But in general it would be good to label parts of text with a language so that various features can automatically do the right thing: case conversion, spell checking, and more. Also character syntax for middle-dot and other things. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
